Luke Littler cheekily demonstrated to Luke Humphries how to hit a 170 during their Premier League Darts clash.

The top two in the world and the table met in the quarter-final of Night 15 in Aberdeen, with the standard being as high as anticipated.

During the match, with Littler trailing 2-1, Humphries missed the bullseye to take out the big fish after nailing two T20s. With 'The Nuke' not on a finish, he showboated by hitting two T20s and the bullseye, leaving him on 34.

However, Humphries returned to take out his finish and leave Littler smiling and laughing away at the world No. 1 shutting down his antics before the two warmly shook hands.

Fans took to social media to praise Littler's shot, with one user saying: "Outrageous mate. Littler hitting that 170 straight after Humphries missed it."

A second added: "Littler hitting 170 from 204 because Humphries just missed it is too good".

A third chimed in: "Cheek of littler hitting that 170."

Another said: "Honestly with all what I've just seen I'm very very worried that Littler hitting a 170 to leave D17 after Humphries missed it may have been lost in the mist. Unreal peacockery - could watch them play each other all night."

Littler eventually ran out 6-3 winner against Humphries to confirm his top of the table finish, meaning he will play 4th place in the table in the semi-final of the Play-Offs at The O2 in two weeks.

Darts sensation 'The Nuke' wowed fans with a staggering 115.96 average, although he was outdone by 'Cool Hand' Humphries who notched up nine maximums to Littler's five.

Earlier, the young star took to Instagram to celebrate his pairing with Humphries for England in the upcoming World Cup of Darts, sharing snaps of their on-stage camaraderie and captioning it: "Dream team confirmed (handshake emoji) bring on the world cup in June @lukehumphries180".
